After I hear or find out about 2012 and also the hype, hysteria and hilarity that progressively surrounds that ominous year, I can not help but to keep in mind the famous and funny line uttered through the Scarecrow and Dorothy because they meander across the Yellow Brick Road within the Wizard of Oz, “Lions, Tigers and Bears, My Dear!”
We soon discover the Lion is cowardly, the Container Guy is rusted, and all sorts of that awaits them on their own journey is a lot of singing pigmies putting on rainbow-colored clothes. Their anxiety about the forest, obviously, was that belongs to them creation. As well as in the ending we ultimately uncover everything was but an aspiration anyway… “And also you were inside it too Toto…!”
Despite the fact that I’m frequently requested by my clients and visitors when they should certainly stress about 2012, up to now I’ve easily skirted the problem by letting them know to check out the details, browse the relevant books, steer clear of the apparent ripoffs, making up their very own minds on whether they must be concerned, or otherwise. So far, I haven’t formally situated myself in regards to this quickly approaching date.
Frankly, I have faith that People in america have finished being told to become afraid anyway, which we suffer from our very own type of crisis fatigue. Why worsen it with a lot of 2012 propaganda?
As though we do not have enough to bother with already…
But, (and also you understood it was coming), 2012 does present an unusual and different confluence of multiple forecasts, occasions, prophecies, mythologies, and cosmologies. Indeed, it’s arguable that not one other amount of time in history has witnessed this type of bizarre merging of a wide variety of, and extremely diverse, belief systems and forecasts. In the finish from the Mayan Lengthy Count Calendar to non secular forecasts from the Finish Occasions…in the Photo voltaic Maximum and deadly Coronal Mass Ejections (CME’s) towards the I Ching and Timewave Zero…in the so known as Galactic Alignment towards the Precession from the Equinoxes and age Aquarius, 2012 is just about the sine qua non of futurist obsessions.
Indeed, 2012 is quickly becoming Y2K on anabolic steroids.
A true-blue skeptic needs to stop and scratch his mind and request if there’s almost anything to all of this 2012-finish-of-the-world-as-we-know-it stuff. There’s too much available on 2012 to disregard (and that i wager your whole 2009 salary — dwindling although it might be — the media will pick on the 2012 conversation soon and elevate it by a purchase of magnitude, using the History Funnel using the lead).
And thus, that is what Used to do, I ended and requested if there is almost anything to all of this hype and put myself in to the relevant literature and blog sphere to understand more about and hopefully get a coherent knowledge of this emerging 2012 collective obsession. Up to now, I have read most, if not completely contemporary texts about them, and also have completely investigated the electronic media, with daily doses of blog sphere research.
Things I discovered both amazed and confused me. And i’m concerned too. Allows take a look at each consequently.
Any make an effort to research 2012 needs to begin, and that i would argue finish, using the Mayan Lengthy Count Calendar. The Mayans truly were (and therefore are) brilliant specialised mathematicians, astronomers, and time owners. Their calendric system, that is based mainly on celestial observances, offers a diploma of precision along with a depth of meaning which makes our Gregorian system appear sophomoric in contrast. The Mayans produced this technique a lot more than 2000 years back, incidentally… Amazing. (Bear in mind, simultaneously it had been contemporary knowledge the earth was flat, and also the sun orbited our planet, that was, obviously, in the center from the world).
It’s far too ambitious to look at the Mayan Lengthy Count calendar at length within this short piece, although I actually do encourage you to definitely consider it (fascinating reading through). But what shocked me, and what’s truly amazing would be that the Mayan religion and mythology, their systems to keep time, as well as their architecture & hieroglyphs, are much like individuals of other ancient cultures (Egyptian, for instance), that they might have experienced no contact.
This strange synchronicity is tough to describe, unless of course you think about the main one factor that every been on common — heaven. Is it feasible that multiple cultures and cultures, separated by both distance and time, can draw exactly the same divination and conclusions in the same celestial observances? And when so, performs this lend greater credibility for their time keeping system and it is inner meanings? Was the Mayan Lengthy Count really about impending disaster, or will it hold a much deeper truth that, up to now, we don’t understand?
There’s general agreement around the following details as it requires 2012: the Mayan lengthy count calendar does finish around the winter solstice on December 21, 2012, also it does coincide having a rare alignment in our rising sun situated in the heart of the Milky Way universe (from an earthly perspective), and both exist in time from the Precessional transfer from age Pisces to age Aquarius, a celebration that just happens every 26000 years. (This ‘alignment’ is especially interesting considering that the middle of the Milky Way universe, frequently known to because the ‘great rift’ is presented by four prominent stars that form an upside lower mix so, around the winter solstice 2012 the ‘sun’ is going to be ‘hung’ on the ‘cross’ because it lines up with the middle of the universe, each rising and setting together. Now there’s some meaning to help keep you awake during the night.)
Exactly what does all of this mean?
Well, it is dependent upon whom you request. Enter Confusion.
A great friend, who is an extremely effective Hollywood actor in evening drama, once required a visit to the orient where he was brought to meals known as ‘Jambots’. Jambots is a mix of several favorite dishes all tossed into one pot and converted into a stew. The logic is straightforward — when we take all of our favorite dishes and mix them, the end result should be a very tasty combination. How could it ‘t be so?
“How made it happen taste?” was my apparent inquiry to my close friend. “Like shit.” was his sober reply.
2012 is becoming, for me, the current day, Finish-of-Occasions Jambots. You will find a wide variety of, but favorite religious values, ancient (and poorly understood) mythologies and mysteries, conspiracy ideas, belief systems, fears, pseudo-scientific conclusions, and merely unrealistic, all being tossed in to the 2012 boiling pot the true value of this date, if there’s one, continues to be completely lost within the stew…it has been boiled away. It’s as though every doom’s day theory has been pressure-associated with this single year.
The Mayans Should have been onto something, so…let us review Nostradamus’ Quatrains to locate a obvious linkage towards the date. Surely you will find some scriptural passages that people can connect to the Mayan’s knowledge and for that reason report that the rapture is imminent. Is not there a rogue star available (Planet X) which should create a pole-curing, 1000-feet wave-creating fly by of the world…and could not that maintain 2012?? Is not the aliens’ next visit past due, you realize, those that seeded humanity? And lastly, and my personal favorite, aren’t all of us going to transform into enlightened creatures using the energy of levitation and telepathy (flying might be awesome).
Wondering what I am speaking about? They are all 2012 forecasts. Seriously…I did not make sure they are up.
Jambots!
Its nearly as if there’s an obsession, or possibly a twisted need to begin to see the world ended within our generation, (incidentally, each generation because the beginning of guy had the idea they would begin to see the ‘end of times’ within their existence it should be hard-wired into our DNA). I believe essentially all of us believe that our planet is altering, which we, like a species, are off target. As Pogo states, “We’ve met the enemy and that he is us.” Possibly somewhere insidewithin all our soul, somewhere we don’t wish to explore, we would like the planet to ‘fix’ itself, even when which means we obtain ‘thinned’ along the way?
Which is precisely why I’m concerned, and why you need to be ready for 2012.
There’s an old zen proverb which i love, which is simple: The pain you are seeking, is definitely seeking you. This proverb is, for me, an attractive salutation to human capacity and originality, and conveys when you possess to some vision, you may make that vision a real possibility. How very awesome.
And just how very harmful…particularly if a lot of people, indeed Countless THEM, are holding towards the vision the world will finish this year.
There’s a growing awareness both in the scientific and modern literature that categories of people may influence occasions simply through collective ‘willfulness.’ The phenomenon is known to as ‘collective manifestation.’ To put it simply, if enough people have confidence in a factor, whatever that factor is, they’ll influence the probability that that factor will probably occur.
For instance, when the bible states the Temple Mount needs to fall before Christ will return, and millions think that he’ll return in age 2012 well, then somebody needs to go available and destroy that darn Temple. Collective values, especially if they’re uncommon and fanatic, foment action.
